F.R. JESURATNAM vs UNION OF INDIA & OTHERS

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition challenging his termination from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, based on his prior conviction under Section 45 and Section 65 of the Air Force Act, 1950. The Court ruled that the Institute acted within its rights to terminate the appellant's employment due to the adverse findings from the General Court Martial, which were disclosed to them. The Court affirmed that the temporary nature of the appointment allowed for termination on notice, thus validating the Institute's decision.
